Got bored, and tired of manually installing docker engine on my fleet of Ubuntu 24.04 hosts.

So I decided to do something useful, and created a
bash script for it.

Yes, I know docker has a script. But this is mine, does what I exactly need.

I really wish we could see what they're talking about heh.

Not sure.

This GPU is 5 years old. It sells used for 4-5000 USD. Not obsolete yet.

Yep. Its working. At a creepy level.

OK I think Ive got stable diffusion chugging along now.

Ok, different model for prompt generation shows some improvements...

Name: "Byte Bandit" Bob

lolololol

For shits and gigs stood up Stable Diffusion on the Orin-AGX and pointed OpenwebUI at it for Image Gen.

Might need a little tweaking.

This is a hacker, in the style of the Simpsons.

Real time streamed chat response:

Got cuda/drivers all sorted, and spun up
ollama & OpenWebUI

I am able to run 70b Parameter models without any issues now, like llama3.3 This is getting fun.

Asked it for a SWOT analysis of interest rates.

Didn't seem to stress the system too much.

Finalized the homelab AI Server today. Happy with how it turned out, considering it was built from all spare parts 😉

Build:
AMD Ryzen 5950x
NVidia RTX A6000
1TB NVME
x2 1TB SSD
64GB DDR4 RAM
1000w SF PSU

All crammed into a SFF case with an AIO and enough fans to keep it chill.

I saw one that looked like a helicopter too!!!

Seattle. I am entering you.

Hnnnnnnnnng

Shhhhhhh

I really hope they find and capture the Iranian drone mother ship hiding off of the coast or New Jersey.

Ah, this makes total sense! As a reaction to drones flying over New Jersey, citizens have begun to launch their *OWN* drones over New Jersey to track those drones and like, help. Because more drones in the air is definitely not going to cause more reports of drones in New Jersey!!

Oh I get it. The hostile nation is invading us with drones that are massive, noisy and have blinking lights. But the lights only stop blinking when a person *sees* them.

Makes tons of sense.

Sigh.

Congress is really just the worst when it comes to speculation over anything remotely technical.

lol soooooo

I can now run 70b parameter models at home without breaking a sweat.....

The GPU gets a bit.... warm.....

Report: Gun used in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO may have been sold in CT ABC News reports a weapon of the same type to one used in the fatal shooting of a United Healthcare CEO was purchased in Connecticut.

Yep. I'm just going off of what the police are saying haha. That video is shit. The gun being "rare" I will still argue for - I think you've just seen it too many times :p

Considering how many handguns, and variants in US - this was like, the last one I would expect to see being speculated on.

B&T sells them for like... 5900 or something?!

Heard the earthquake was just a pretext for a tsunami scare executed by APT29.

Stay vigilant.

So familiar that they were able to quickly, without any sort of hesitation, able to clear a malfunction without skipping a beat.

Crazy.

This United Healthcare CEO assassination is fucking wild.

Police now believe the weapon used was a B&T VP9

Basically a modern version of the Welrod used by the OSS in like WW2

9mm, Integrated suppressor. Costs around $6,000 USD.

Super rare weapon. And the shooter was very familiar with it.

I had a tired.

People-ing is invigorating and exhausting all at once.

G'night y'all
